The PPSh-41, a Call of Duty classic, makes a triumphant return in Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 2. This highly effective SMG boasts unique advantages in each game mode. Below are optimal PPSh-41 loadouts for Black Ops 6 Multiplayer and Zombies.
Unlocking the PPSh-41
The PPSh-41 is unlocked via the Season 2 Battle Pass. It's featured as a High Value Target on Page 6, with an Ultra rarity Blueprint on Page 14. For early access, disable automatic Battle Pass token spending. BlackCell owners can instantly skip to any page, making Page 6 and the PPSh-41 immediately accessible.
Optimal PPSh-41 Multiplayer Loadout
In Multiplayer, the PPSh-41's high capacity and fire rate dominate close-quarters combat. However, recoil management is key. This loadout mitigates that:
- Compensator: Reduces vertical recoil.
- Long Barrel: Extends damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Boosts magazine size to 55 rounds (note: penalties to ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire speed).
- Balanced Stock: Enhances hipfire, strafing, sprint-to-fire, and movement speed.
This setup prioritizes accuracy and mobility, making flanking and surprise attacks highly effective. Pair it with these perks:
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
- Perk 2: Assassin: Highlights killstreaks on the minimap and provides Bounty Packs for extra score.
- Perk 3: Double Time: Extends Tactical Sprint duration.
- Perk Greed: Scavenger: Resupplies ammo and equipment from downed enemies.
This perk selection unlocks the Enforcer Combat Specialty, providing temporary movement speed and health regeneration boosts upon kills.
Ranked Play Adjustments
Ranked Play requires adjustments. Replace Extended Mag II (unavailable) with Recoil Springs. Use these perks:
- Perk 1: Dexterity
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Perk 4: Flak Jacket
Optimal PPSh-41 Zombies Loadout
The PPSh-41 is a Zombies favorite due to its high DPS. This loadout maximizes its effectiveness:
- Suppressor: Chance for extra salvage.
- Long Barrel: Improves damage range.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Increases magazine size to 55 rounds (with the aforementioned penalties).
- Quickdraw Stock: Significantly improves ADS speed.
- Steady Aim Laser: Improves hipfire accuracy.
- Recoil Springs: Improves both horizontal and vertical recoil control.
This build prioritizes accuracy and mobility. Consider Speed Cola (Classic Formula Major Augment) to enhance reload speed and Deadshot Daiquiri (Dead Head Major Augment) for increased critical hit damage.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
